PRAYER: INTERCESSION

“. . . Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.”  
Matthew 6:10

Jesus taught his disciples to submit to God’s authority in prayer by adjusting

and setting our will to God’s will and then offering intercession on behalf

of our entire planet.  The word “will” means “desire,” so we are praying for

God’s desire to be fully realized on earth allowing heaven’s power and

presence to come. What God desires is what we should do – He is perfect

and what He wants is perfect.

Our prayer life is not just about ourselves and this prayer extends our

intercession to others - to our family, church, nation and world.  We pray

that hearts first would be open to know God’s will so that regeneration can

take place in each person. Prayer is not just about a better life one day,

but the willingness to totally accept God’s will to make this world a better

place.
